Hou Ryuu character guide
Hou Ryuu is a main figure in s-CRY-ed, a Sunrise action series built around Alter users, Lost Ground survival, and HOLY’s campaign to control native ability users.
Who they are
Ryuuhou is widely regarded as the strongest HOLY member. He develops a strong rivalry with Kazuma, the only native alter on Lost Ground to escape HOLY, continuously foil HOLY’s plans afterwards, and fight Ryuuhou one-on-one without being defeated instantly. Ryuuhou is extremely strict, refuses to talk about his mother, and does his job without any distractions. Known by Mimori Kiryuu, Ryuuhou’s personality has changed in a full circle to a new person.
Role in the story
Hou Ryuu matters because the series frames power through personal loyalty: Kazuma’s street-level independence, Ryuho’s institutional duty, Kanami and Mimori’s human stakes, and HOLY’s pressure all collide as the Lost Ground conflict escalates.
Personality and abilities
The character’s story is tied to Alter power politics rather than a simple tournament ladder. PopRot describes their strengths by how they affect choices, alliances, rescues, and rivalries, with combat abilities explained only where source metadata confirms them.
